  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Maple Dijon Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar until well blended.
  2. Incorporate Olive Oil: Slowly stream in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing and create a smooth, creamy texture.
  3. Season and Adjust: Add the kosher salt and black pepper, then whisk or shake vigorously to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Taste and Finalize: Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate in a sealed container.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; finely mince or press for even distribution.
  • Substitute red wine vinegar if apple cider vinegar is unavailable for a slightly different acidity profile.
  • Shake the dressing well before each use as ingredients may separate over time.
  • Store dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week.
